At some point, this bar-room brawl has spilled out into the street. <br>It's all going out to "peace" (ironically) rather than being confined within "peace-discuss". <br>Before throwing the next brickbat, please make sure that "peace" isn't in the address field.<br>

First, Iraq and Afghanistan are both part of what the Pentagon calls
"The Long War" (for oil) in the Mideast. So far, the US has killed
a million people in Iraq under Clinton (whose Secretary of State
said that the tens of thousands of dead children were "worth it"); a
million under Bush; and apparently hundreds of thousands in AfPak
under Bush and his third (Obama) term.<br>
